As soon as Helian Cheng's words came out, Li Ba immediately stood up. （）

Immediately, Li Ba slowly sat down again, and then he pondered for a moment before he said, "General Helian, the situation is not good!" We have to make a decision sooner rather than later...... Once Xiao Mo captures the Qiangzhen Military Division, we can't go out of the city, and even if Xiao Mo doesn't attack Xuanhua in the future, we will be trapped in the city! ”

When Helian Cheng heard Li Ba's words, he immediately reacted and said, "Not bad! Xiao Mo's poisonous eyesight saw the relationship between Xuanhua Mansion and the Qiangzhen Military Division at a glance, and Xiao Mo definitely planned to defeat the Qiangzhen Military Division first, and then trap us in the city. ”

"Now that there are no people in Suzhou, Xiliang City is controlled by Xiao Mo again, if you go to Xingqing Mansion to transfer people over, it will take at least half a month to come and go!" Li Ba said coldly: "But now that the army of the An Dynasty has broken through Xiping Mansion and is under the city of Jingzhou, Jingzhou is the neighboring city of Xingqing Mansion, at this time, the emperor does not have so many troops to rescue Xuanhua Mansion!" ”

"What a wishful thinking!" After this analysis, Helian Cheng couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "General Li, how should we deal with it now?" ”

Li Ba said expressionlessly: "We have only discovered Xiao Mo's intentions now, it's too late......"

Helian Cheng asked, "Are we just sitting still?" ”

Li Ba thought for a while, then approached Helian City, and whispered in his ear: "General Helian, instead of sitting and waiting in the city, let's take advantage of the fact that the current situation is not too bad and the Qiangzhen Military Division has not been lost, we will go out of the city tonight and fight Xiao Mo by surprise......"

"Wonderful!" Helian Cheng said: "Xiao Mo's army came from afar, and there will definitely be no vigilance tonight, we will be taken by surprise and kill him, anyway, Hengzhi will die!" ”

After unifying their opinions with Helian City, the two immediately went to the city to prepare to dispatch troops.

This time, Li Ba and Helian Cheng both made up their minds, that is, if the sneak attack was not successful, or if the situation changed, they would immediately retreat to the Qiangzhen Military Division, and then move to Xingqing Mansion with the army.

There is no way, now Western Xia can be said to have been forced to the point of exhaustion by the An Dynasty, the hundreds of thousands of troops in the northwest have been beaten to the point of remaining seventy or eighty thousand horses, and the defenders of Xingqing Mansion and Jingzhou are only more than 100,000, if you don't preserve your strength, what will you do to fight with the An Dynasty?

This is also because Li Ba is Li Yuan's cousin, and they are all members of the Li family, so Li Ba sees his eyes so far.

If you change to an ordinary Western Xia general, if you can't beat it, you will be a little stronger, and you will directly beat all the men and horses, or surrender with the men and horses, then the Western Xia will lose a lot of horses!

Li Ba obviously took this into account, so he agreed with Helian City that if the situation really changed, he must preserve his strength!

It was getting dark, and after Xiao Mo's camp was settled, there was no movement.

Xiao Mo didn't send anyone to get in touch with the army of Wu Zang Pang and Ge Luolu, but Xiao Mo's tens of thousands of troops came to Xuanhua Mansion and set up camp lively, and there would definitely be no news at all without hiding Pang Bao.

After knowing that Xiao Mo was coming, Pang immediately sent someone to inform Glolu.

Because it was getting late, the army of Grolu and the huge army that did not hide the false did not act rashly.

In the dead of night, the area around Xuanhua Mansion where the sky was already gloomy came in, because it was late autumn, so in the middle of the night, the area around Xuanhua Mansion became more and more quiet.

And there is also a murderous aura in this quiet, which makes people shudder!

The city gate in the north of Xuanhua Mansion was quietly opened at some point, and then a large number of people and horses rode out of the city on war horses in the night.

They didn't even light the torches!

This was to avoid startling the snakes, Li Ba and Helian Cheng took the elite of Xixia Yipintang to open the way in front, and the goal was directly aimed at the camp of Xiao Mo's army.

At this time, in the camp of Xiao Mo's army, most of the lights in the camp had been extinguished.

Yang Yanqi and Yu Nu'er had already slept in the tent, and after they made a bet with Xiao Mo, they were always worried that someone would attack the camp, but they were laughed at by Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo laughed at them for not being confident, so as soon as they were angry, Yang Yanqi pulled Yu Nu'er to sleep.

Of course, they can't really sleep, they're just putting on a show.

Xiao Mo's camp tent is the largest in the barracks, divided into inner and outer rooms, and under normal circumstances, Xiao Mo summons generals to discuss matters in the outer room.

At this time, Xiao Mozhen was looking at the map with a light outside the tent, and then Zhao Guanying walked over.

Xiao Mo asked, "Are Liang Zheng and Tangoro ready?" ”

Zhao Guanying nodded, and then asked Xiao Mo, "Erlang, what is the password tonight?" ”

The password that Zhao Guanying asked, a slogan used by the soldiers guarding the camp in the middle of the night in the barracks, is also equivalent to a code.

Usually the password is thought up by the boss, after all, the boss is the backbone of the barracks, and the code in the barracks must be the first to be known by the boss.

Xiao Mo thought for a while, so he said, "Shoot the wolf!" ”

"Shoot a wolf?" Zhao Guanying asked, and after seeing Xiao Mo nodding in confirmation, Zhao Guanying walked out again.

At this time, Xiao Mo stopped Zhao Guanying and said to him: "Brother Zhao, after passing on the password, you can also send an extra team of people at the gate of the camp, and then light up the headlights to make a strict defensive appearance!" ”

Zhao Guanying listened and asked puzzledly: "Didn't Erlang want Li Ba and them to attack the camp?" If they had been prepared for us, how would they come? ”

Xiao Mo listened, laughed, and said to Zhao Guanying: "The art of war is cloudy, but the truth is false, and the virtual is real. Brother Zhao just do what I say! ”

Zhao Guanying nodded, and then Xiao Mo put away the map and shouted outside, "Who is on duty?" ”

The guards walked in and saluted Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo asked, "What time is it?" ”

The guard replied, "Back to the general, it's already three quarters old!" ”

Xiao Mo nodded, then waved his hand, and the guard left.

"It's time to come, too!" Xiao Mo muttered to himself, and then squatted in front of the stove next to him.

Although it is not yet winter, the area around Xuanhua Mansion is already very cold weather.

Fortunately, it has not snowed yet, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the army to march.

Xiao Mo estimated that the temperature of this night must be at least a few degrees below zero, this is only October, how can it be so cold?

Fortunately, Xiao Mo had already prepared and asked Xiu Zhizhi to make cotton clothes for the soldiers.

With cotton clothes, the cold is not so terrible.
